Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa

Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa

The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon was established by decree of 19th April 1911. From its establishment until 1985, the year the Faculty was transferred to the new facilities at Campo Grande, the Faculty of Sciences was based in the building where the Polytechnic School (Escola Politécnica) used to be. Before this School, since the beginning of the 17th century, other cultural and scientific preeminent institutions were settled there. In addition to this common tradition, the Faculty of Sciences has inherited the scientific, historical and cultural characteristics of its predecessors.
